Postdoctoral Position - Stanford University

[Anne Fernald]

Postdoctoral Position in Developmental Psycholinguistics

Postdoctoral position available in the Department of Psychology at  
Stanford University working in the research group led by Dr. Anne  
Fernald.  Our research program includes several different projects  
funded by grants from NICHD and NIDCD, all focusing on the early  
development of spoken language understanding.  We seek an outstanding  
young scientist interested in pursuing the following opportunities:

• gain expertise in sophisticated data-analytic techniques using real- 
time speech processing measures with very young language learners;

• investigate how phonological, grammatical, and semantic properties  
of language influence children’s online interpretation of speech from  
moment to moment;

• conduct experimental studies with infants and young children  
learning English or Spanish as their first language, and/or with  
Spanish/English bilingual children;

•  do observational research on parent-child interactions at our main  
lab on campus and/or at our community lab in East Palo Alto, where we  
are working with hundreds of Latino families who are recent  
immigrants to the U.S.;

•  develop new experimental tasks for assessing speech processing  
efficiency in English- and Spanish-learning children at risk for  
language disorders;

•  join a dynamic, interactive, and productive research team  
exploring early language learning in diverse populations, while  
participating in the vibrant cognitive science community at Stanford  
University.

Candidates must have completed a PhD and have a strong background in  
cognitive science, developmental psychology, psycholinguistics, or a  
related area. This position can start in Summer 2008 or sooner;  
salary commensurate NIH guidelines.  Applicants should send a CV with  
a letter describing graduate training and research interests, and  
arrange to have three letters of recommendation sent to: Prof. Anne  
Fernald, Dept. Psychology, Stanford University, Stanford CA 94305.   
Electronic applications can be sent to afernald at stanford.edu. Review  
of applications begins on March 1st, continuing until position is  
filled.  Website: http://babylab.stanford.edu.
